Ingredients
Instructions
Dissolve the Sugar
Whisk the caster sugar, water, and salad oil together until the sugar has dissolved.
Add the Dry Ingredients
Add the sifted cake flour, baking powder, and vanilla powder, and mix until smooth and free of lumps.
Add the Egg Yolks
Add the egg yolks and whisk until the mixture is smooth and silky. Set aside.
Whip the Egg Whites
Whisk the egg whites with cream of tartar, salt, and granulated sugar to medium-stiff peaks (a soft, curling hook stage).
Combine the Batters
Fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture until evenly combined, then fold the mixture back into the remaining whites and gently mix until uniform.
Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the pan and bake at 195°C (top heat) / 155°C (bottom heat) for about 10 minutes. Lower the oven to 140°C (top heat) / 140°C (bottom heat) and bake for another 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool, then unmold.
